“A Blessing for the Tennis Player” The early Wimbledon rounds are going on right now. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to watch any of them yet on TV, but in past years some of the most exciting matches have occurred in the early rounds. And it seems, always, that one or more of the […]

Time for Tennis! A Blessing for the Tennis Player A timeless game. No clock. Just shots. Great athletes. Maria Sharapova won the Women’s French Open title yesterday in three sets. Nadal beat Djokovic today after losing the opening set. An incredible match! We may never see players as competitive as Nadal and Djokovic […]

Monday, April 21, 2014: The Boston Marathon Congratulations, Boston! Except for the fact that Rita Jeptoo was the repeat women’s champion in record time, and except for the fact that Meb Keflezighi was the men’s winner, and that he was an American runner, nothing of significance happened! Well, many others completed the race, and […]

Monday is Patriot’s Day in Boston. It Is Boston Marathon Day also. We know what happened last year. It will not happen again. Boston is strong. As we watch, we will remember those who were killed or injured in last year’s race. And those who lost family members will remember how lives were lost […]

Spring is Here. Are You Ready, Runners? It looks like spring, but only on the calendar! In Chicago, we still have snow on the ground, though some has melted. But they say more is on the way. And it’s going to get cold again. Someday, spring will be here, or maybe we’ll skip spring […]

When Will It Be Golf Season? This has been one long winter, hasn’t it? December was cold. I don’t even remember if it was snowy. January was both cold and snowy. And February has been more of the same, and the end is not yet in site, except maybe on the calendar. The same snow […]

To the first time marathoners . . . For those who are running their first marathon, there is nothing else like it . . . well, almost nothing. You’ve trained for it: hours of running, miles on roads and trails, aerobic training, cross-training, eating correctly. You’ve done 3 miles and 6 miles and 12 miles and 18 […]

Ron Santo finally will be enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame this weekend. It is long overdue. The following poem was written in 2010 in honor of Mr. Santo, who gave so much for so many kids, and especially those with juvenile diabetes. For Every Kid: A […]

It’s Graduation Season!

Congratulations to graduates at every level!
Grade school. High School. College. Graduate Schools.
It's another step to move your life forward!
Enjoy it! You've earned that!
And keep on learning! More than ever, our world needs students who are committed to learning.
And remember: sometimes it's not what you know that's important. Sometimes it's what you don't know, and continuous learning helps you to keep learning that lesson.
Even more important: It's what you don't know that you don't know! That means that you will never know everything, but you need to recognize that there are things you need to learn and know, even if you don't know what they are yet!
Good luck to all graduates! Be perpetual learners! We need you!

A Note About Selection Boxes When Purchasing an Item

Read the instructions on pages where multiple product choices are present. Then go to the Selection Boxes. If you have any difficulties with the Selection Boxes, click the "Clear Selection" button until all boxes are cleared (you may have to click it more than once), and then enter all your choices again.

If you put an item into the shopping cart and then change your mind, click the red X, and when the "Return to Shop" button appears, click the arrow that takes you to "The Shop." Click through and then return back to your page by clicking the Photo related to your choice, or go through the main navigation menu. This is necessary to clear the shopping cart and the selection boxes. I will try to find out if there is a fix for this, but for now the above should work. If not, contact me.

For downloadable items, make selection(s) then follow Shopping Cart to PayPal. After paying, you will receive instructions on how to download your item(s).
